DEBBIE McGEE had a near purrfect score as she took part in Strictly Come Dancing’s quarter final.
Together with dancing partner Giovanni Pernice, they danced an American Smooth to Memory from the classic musical Cats.
And the four judges LOVED it.
Shirley Ballas said that “the dance will be a memory” adding that it was a hugely polished and impressive routine.
Darcey Bushell also joined in, saying that the pair’s routine was “so exquisite, so smooth and seamless.”
Bruno said that it was a smash hit, “created with a sense of happiness and took people into a beautiful story”.
Craig, on other hand, made cat noises.
Three of the judges gave Debbie and Giovanni 10s, only Craig docked them a point, leaving them with 39 points. They ended the evening joint first with Alexandra Burke.
Afterwards, Debbie was delighted the dance.
“I feel like I’ve climbed a mountain,” she said.
